RE: selecting text and f8 key

[Andrew via Talk]

Hello all, can anyone direct me to a tutorial about Window Eyes and Windows
7. I have a friend who is finally coming up to Windows 7 from XP. Now back
to regular program still in progress.  Andrew

I haven't copied sentences or groups of words with f8, but I have copied
urls and the whole url is copied.  I do f8 twice and hit enter.  Pam.

Chris,

As I think I have made quite clear in my previous posts to Rod, I have no
problem doing what is necessary to assure that I have indeed selected an
entire word unit using f8, that is moving from the first letter of the word
to the last character and once again pressing f8. I will take
f8 on its own turns. But It is been proven to me by my own hand that in text
editors or word processors, that using ctrl-right or left arrow, while maybe
appearing to only select or unselect the first letter, actually select the
entire word, and that can be proven simply by copying what has been selected
and placing it at the end of the document, and taking a look at your work.

Again, technically, you may indeed be right, but for all intents and
purposes, the entire word unit is selected.

I am not demanding a change when it comes to f8, all though I really would
find it more convenient to be able to by default, select an entire word
unit, rather than just the first letter, because that is usually what is
meant by using the ctrl-shift arrow keys when editing  as normally excepted
standard procedure.

As I've indicated, this isn't the proverbial show-stopper, just a relatively
minor irritation.

Indeed, if most users of this method have no problem with the present state
of affairs, I am willing to concede my minority status and get on with the
rest of my life .

Have a great day, and keep up your great work,

Larry

RE: Using Twitter with WE

[Andrew via Talk]

I use TW Blu as well. Chris is right, it's a good Twitter client. I like the
interface.  Andrew

Hi Bob

Let me recommend a twitter app made by the blind called TW Blue. Like i
mentioned it's made by the blind for the blind so of course, it's going to
work right out of the box, no extra scripts or anything necessary.  
It might be a bit of a different concept than you're used to, but the
upshoot is that you let the app run in the background and as your tweets
come in, you can use different keystrokes to read them from anywhere within
windows itself.  On windows 7 and 8.1 systems, you use control plus windows
plus up and down arrow to read your tweets, and on windows 10, it's alt plus
windows plus any other command you want to do.  Like I say the documentation
is very complete, so be sure to check that out.
It's absolutely free, and you can grab a copy from http://www.twblue.es
  the site and app are made by someone who speaks spanish, but they also
understand English very well so if you have any problems he should be able
to help you.
If you try it, let us know how it goes.

Hello,

If what you have is working fine, then continue using what you have until
you need something the old system can not give you, and the new one could.  

Why complicate your life by learning a New OS and New programs?  Keep
itSimple etc.
